A thorough review of your CV and cover letter, your timeline, and your target firms, so your application lands and your prep is aimed at the right process from the start.
ARC stands for Assess, Refine, Convert. It reflects my approach to case prep, developed over years on the other side of the table, first as an interviewer and career advisor, then as a Partner with the final call on hiring decisions. Assess where you stand, refine what's holding you back, convert it into full readiness for the interview day.
The program is structured into 8 sessions with no time limit, covering the full journey from application to interview day: we start with your application strategy (CV, cover letter, timeline, target firms), then a first case we use as a diagnostic, three more cases to build your skills across formats, a dedicated fit session, and a final full mock. A separate drills session targets the specific areas your diagnostic flags (e.g. structuring, math, chart reading, or brainstorming).
This pack is designed for candidates building their preparation from the ground up, taking you the full way from application through to interview day.
This structure reflects what I've seen work best, but it's a starting point, not a fixed script. We adapt it to what your diagnostic shows and what you need: more room for fit if your cases are already strong, a deeper focus on a specific weakness, or whatever gets you ready fastest.
